The horizontal stabilizer was assembled with magnets and then CAed together.


These magnetic presses are homemade. The screw is not vertical with the cross arm of the press. The guide hole was drilled with a drill press and most likely is not the cause of the miss alignment. It most likely is out of alignment due to cutting the threads. any ideas how to get these right.



Stabilizer taped to the elevator and ready to sand.
